Abstract: In this paper, we are concerned with the local existence and singularity structure of low regularity solutions to the semilinear generalized Tricomi equation $p_t^{2}u-t^{m}Deltau=f(t,x,u)$ with typical discontinuous initial data $(u(0,x),p_{t}u(0,x))=(0,vp(x))$; here $minBbbN$, $x=(x_1,\mathrm{...},x_n)$, $nge2$, and $f(t,x,u)$ is $C^{infty}$ smooth in its arguments. When the initial data $vp(x)$ is a homogeneous function of degree zero or a piecewise smooth function singular along the hyperplane $t=x_1=0$, it is shown that the local solution $u(t,x)in{L}^{infty}([0,T]imesBbb{R}^n)$ exists and is $C^{infty}$ away from the forward cuspidal cone $$ and the characteristic cuspidal wedge $$, respectively. On the other hand, for $n=2$ and piecewise smooth initial data $vp(x)$ singular along the two straight lines $t=x_1=0$ and $t=x_2=0$, we establish the local existence of a solution $u(t,x)in{L}^{infty}([0,T]imesBbb{R}^2)capC([0,T],H^{fm+62(m+2)-}(Bbb{R}^2))$ and show further that $u(t,x)otin{C}^2((0,T]imesBbb{R}^{2}setminus(G_{0}cup{G}_1^{pm}cup{G}_2^{pm}))$ in general due to the degenerate character of the equation under study; here $$. This is an essential difference to the well-known result for solutions $v(t,x)in{C}^{infty}(Bbb{R}^{+}imesBbb{R}^{2}setminus(Sigm{a}_{0}cupSigm{a}_1^{pm}cupSigm{a}_2^{pm}))$ to the 2-D semilinear wave equation $p_t^{2}v-Deltav=f(t,x,v)$ with $(v(0,x),p_{t}v(0,x))=(0,vp(x))$, where $Sigm{a}_0=t=|x|$, $Sigm{a}_1^{pm}=t=pm{x}_1$, and $Sigm{a}_2^{pm}=t=pm{x}_2$.
